The Ryan Lochte/Prince Harry Vegas bacchanal news continues, now with additional cavorting! Undoubtedly under the spell of jeah, England's prodigal son Harry played a game of strip pool in Las Vegas that ended with him butt-naked, freaking with the girl next door (see above), and Wales lawyers were undoubtedly like, "Say it wasn't you," and Prince Harry was like, "Alright," but then that ploy didn't work because it was clearly him, which leads me to the inevitable conclusion that there are IMPORTANT FLAWS IN SHAGGY'S LOGIC.
I'll tell you one thing: that Lochte boy is a bad influence, and Harry should not be spending any more time with him. I give it approximately one week before we learn that they accidentally killed a grifter a la The Secret History. Point being, Prince Harry's butthole was the eye of the storm, here covered with a red star. Now move along. [TMZ]

Sometimes people you forgot about are still around, and sometimes they marry each other: Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne have announced their engagement after a whirlwind six-month courtship. This is Kroeger's first and Lavigne's second marriage (she split from Sum 41 guitarist Deryck Whibley in 2009). She also dated Brody Jenner. HURK, sorry, just lost my will to live for a second. Anyway, "Avril Kroeger" sounds like a drug conglomerate, but here's to you two crazy kids! [People]
Mia Wasikowska was disgusted and appalled by Shia LaBeouf's behavior on the set of Lawless, says Shia LaBeouf without any apparent trace of remorse. The actor bragged about binge-drinking moonshine ("[it's] like heroin") to get Into Character For The Part, but actually To Act Like A Jackass And Get Paid Gajillions Of Dollars For It:
[Wasikowska] was calling her attorney, like, 'Get me the [bleep] out of here,'" the apparent method actor told the magazine. "Mia was ready to walk away from the movie. I was really pretty aggressive about it, and not in any kind of weird, strange way, but I don't think she had ever experienced anything like that.
Oh, right. She wasn't irritated by the fact that you were staggering around drunk at work, she was intimidated by your craft. [Complex]
Kristen Stewart crawled out of her sadhole! To carry a bunch of flowers down the street! She wore a "low-key outfit consisting of a baseball cap, cropped T-shirt and grey skinny jeans" and looked "pale and preoccupied." She has literally always looked that way, though. So there's that. Who are the flowers for?! [News.com.au]
Former New York Giants player Michael Strahan is the frontrunner to co-host Live! With Kelly alongside Kelly Ripa after she and the network auditoned at least 59 possibilities. In case we weren't clear on why they decided that Ripa and Strahan make an "interesting visual couple," it was helpfully pointed out for us:
He's 6-foot-5. He played at 275 pounds. He's black. He's got the most famous front-tooth gap since Lauren Hutton.

Dodgers start Derek Lowe, RHP (2-3, 4.62) vs. Tim Hudson, RHP (3-0, 1.40).
Dodgers: 17-12 (1st place NL West, 1.5 GA, L1)
Braves: 18-10 (T-1st place NL East, W2)
From Dodgers.com, the scouting report on the starters:
Dodgers: Lowe couldn't protect a 4-1 lead Sunday against the Padres in what turned into a 17-inning marathon that pressed the entire bullpen into service, although he did get into the seventh inning. Lowe is keeping the ball in the park, but allowing plenty of hits. His ERA is higher than normal, and he has allowed almost as many walks as he has strikeouts.
Braves: Hudson is enjoying one of the finest six-start stretches of his career, and his numbers would look even better if he hadn't been saddled with no-decisions in his past two outings. Through six starts, opponents are hitting just .186 against him. His sinker and split-finger fastball have allowed him to gain a 2.60 groundout-to-flyout ratio. Hudson has completed at least seven innings in each start this year, and he has allowed one earned run or fewer four times.
- We're all looking for the Dodgers, who have scored five runs in their last four games to break out of a slump--two runs may get a win against the NL West, but Atlanta is another matter altogether. Tim Hudson on the mound for the Braves seems to indicate more helpings from the can of whup-ass on the listless Dodgers, anemic at the plate of late. Grady announced after the game that some changes are going to come, but given his slow pace, I'm not sure if they'll come in time for today's train wreck.
UPDATE (12.25p):
Today's lineup, from Inside the Dodgers (MLB):
Furcal, SS
Pierre, CF
Nomar, 1B
Kent, 2B
Gonzo, LF
Martin, C
Ethier, RF
Martinez, 3B
Lowe, P
As expected, there are no major moves to the lineup, and instead of Wilson Betemit we've got the red-hot Ramon Martinez at third. Martinez is batting .182, and his .229 OBP trails Brad Penny, Derek Lowe, and Jason Schmidt. Whoop dee frickin' doo.

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is examining the sale of products and services that offer faster access to data and richer information on trades than what's typically available to the public, according to the person. Wall Street banks and rapid-fire trading firms pay thousands of dollars a month for these services from firms including Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. and IntercontinentalExchange Group Inc.'s New York Stock Exchange.
The attorney general's staff has discussed his concerns with executives of Nasdaq and NYSE and requested more information, said the person, who asked not to be named because the inquiry hasn't been announced. Schneiderman's office is also looking into private trading venues, known as dark pools, and the strategies deployed by the high-speed traders themselves.
"This new breed of predatory behavior gives a small segment of the industry an enormous advantage over all other competitors and allows them to use new technologies to reap huge profits based on very, very minor, but nonetheless unfair, advantages," Schneiderman said today at New York Law School during a speech in which he described his concerns with trading. He said he looked forward to working with other regulators on the issue, while saying his office would keep looking for "unseemly" practices.
Disrupting Strategy
The investigation threatens to disrupt a model that market regulators have openly permitted for years as high-speed trading and concerns about its influence have grown. Trading firms pay to place their systems in the same data centers as the exchanges, a practice known as co-location that lets them directly plug in their companies' servers and shave millionths of a second off transactions. They also purchase proprietary data feeds, which are faster and more detailed than the stock- trading information available on the public ticker.
"We publicly file with the SEC for each and every one of these services, and we're always engaged with government officials around the world," Robert Madden, a spokesman for New York-based Nasdaq, said in a phone interview, referring to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He and Eric Ryan, a spokesman for NYSE, declined to comment on Schneiderman's investigation.
Nasdaq Falls
Shares of Nasdaq today dropped as much as 4 percent, its biggest intraday drop since an Aug. 22 technical malfunction at the exchange forced it to temporarily halt trading for thousands of companies. ICE, which purchased the New York Stock Exchange in November when it acquired NYSE Euronext, fell as much as 1.3 percent today and was down 0.7 percent as of 10:43 a.m. New York time.
Dark pools, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s Sigma X and Credit Suisse Group AG's Crossfinder, operate without the same regulatory oversight as the public exchanges and disclose little about their trading or the participants. Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP owns a stake in Bids Trading LP, which operates a dark pool. Michael DuVally, a spokesman for New York- based Goldman Sachs, declined to comment, as did Drew Benson, a spokesman for Zurich-based Credit Suisse.
"My office is going to continue to shine a light on unseemly practices" in high-speed trading, Schneiderman said during his speech in New York today. "I look forward to joining with other regulators and my colleagues in government in taking real, concrete steps to deal with this problem. We've had some inquiries and ideas floated by the SEC" and U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, "but it's time for us all collectively to step up to this challenge."
Flash Crash
Special services have helped fuel high-frequency trading, in which computer programs execute orders in a fraction of a second and take advantage of fleeting discrepancies in security prices across trading venues. High-frequency activity represented more than half of all U.S. stock trading in 2012, according to Rosenblatt Securities Inc.
Critics including some regulators and market participants say that such trading, which captured the spotlight in the May 2010 flash crash in U.S. equities, serves little purpose, may distort the market and may leave retail investors at a disadvantage.
Human Eye
Computer-driven trades can be executed in about 300 microseconds, according to one study. At that speed more than 1,000 trades can be made in the blink of a human eye, which lasts 400 milliseconds. At their peak, algorithms shot out about 323,000 stock-trading messages each second in the U.S. last year, compared with fewer than 50,000 for the busiest period in 2007, according to data compiled by the Financial Information Forum.
Andrew Brooks, head of U.S. equity trading at Baltimore, Maryland-based T. Rowe Price Group Inc., told a Senate hearing in late 2012 that the quest for speed has threatened the market.
Proponents say that high-speed trading actually increases the availability of shares in the market and that interfering with such programs would lead to higher costs and be harmful to financial stability. Indeed, the rise of computers in stock trading has helped squeeze out specialists and market makers, who had long facilitated transactions.
The current market structure, which has led to more participants, has lowered the cost of trading for investors, said Peter Nabicht, a spokesman for Modern Markets Initiative, an industry group formed last year by firms including Quantlab Financial LLC, Hudson River Trading and Global Trading Systems.
Better Prices
"Speed of decision-making and execution, often associated with high-frequency trading, gives traders more confidence in their interaction with the market, which allows them to efficiently make more competitive prices" and better meet investor demands, Nabicht said.
Schneiderman has previously voiced disapproval of services that cater to high-speed traders and give them a potential edge. When Business Wire, the distributor of press releases owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., said last month it would stop sending the statements directly to high-frequency firms, Schneiderman called it "a tremendous victory."
Taking his concerns public may help Schneiderman push the exchanges to alter practices, as Business Wire did, even without enforcement action. Among the powerful tools at his disposal is the Martin Act, an almost century-old law that gives him broad powers to target financial fraud in the state.
Preventing Fraud
Targeting the exchanges could be the most straightforward way to deal with any ill effects of speedy trading, said James D. Cox, a securities law professor at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
"The exchanges are much more vulnerable to state and federal regulatory enforcement than the market participants," Cox said. "They have a broad statute to maintain orderly markets and to do so in an ethical manner."
The 1934 securities law that set up regulatory oversight of the U.S. financial markets specifies that exchanges enact rules to protect investors and the public's interest, to promote equitable practices and to prevent fraud and manipulation.
Regulators have signaled concerns in recent years on how U.S equity markets operate. After the Dow Jones Industrial Average briefly lost almost 1,000 points in the flash crash, the chairman of the SEC, Mary Schapiro, said she planned to increase scrutiny of high-frequency traders.
Market Curbs
In an effort to avoid another flash crash, the SEC worked with exchanges to create price curbs designed to prevent losses in a single stock from snowballing into a marketwide rout. The current chairman, Mary Jo White, said in January the SEC would soon publish a review of research on high-frequency trading. The CFTC, which oversees U.S. derivatives markets, announced a review of high-speed trading last year.
Cox, the Duke professor, said New York's attorney general is the only law enforcement body or regulator likely to target the exchanges.
"The SEC wants to protect investors, but also strengthen and promote U.S. capital markets," Cox said. "These twin functions conflict with each other, which is why they have so far turned a blind eye on this issue."
Some in the trading business, like Joe Saluzzi, a partner and co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading LLC in Chatham, New Jersey, have called for restraining services. Saluzzi said he's wary of the private feeds because they're far more detailed than public data, showing when and how a stock order was changed or canceled, which can give an insight into a particular strategy.
Extra Step
"Inside these data feeds is information which allows folks to read it and re-engineer the behavior of others," Saluzzi said. "A lot of high-frequency strategies are built on modeling the behaviors of someone else."
The private feeds also reach traders more quickly than the public-quote system because they are sent directly from each exchange to paying customers. Public feeds build in an additional step: Price data from dozens of venues where U.S. stocks change hands are sent to a central place for processing before that information is publicized. Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News, provides its clients with access to some proprietary exchange feeds.
A study published in January co-authored by Terrence Hendershott, associate professor of finance at the University of California, Berkeley, found the average time difference was 1.5 milliseconds between calculating a stock's price using the exchange's proprietary data and waiting for the public information. That's more than enough time for a speedy trader to recognize an advantageous price and execute a trade against someone using the slower feed.
Many Auctions
During his speech, Schneiderman referred to an academic paper that suggests segmenting the trading day into thousands of auctions in an effort to prevent the quickest firms from jumping ahead of others.
The paper's co-author, Eric Budish, associate professor of economics at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, told Bloomberg News in February that non-stop markets create a race between speed traders.
Operating different data feeds has led to past disciplinary action. NYSE Euronext agreed to pay the SEC $5 million in September 2012 to resolve claims it violated rules by giving some customers a head start on trading information. NYSE sent data through proprietary feeds to paying customers before relaying the same information to the public feed, regulators said. The exchange said the incident was "not from intentional wrongdoing."
Shareholder Returns
The exchanges have a variety of duties and responsibilities not just to the public, but to members and shareholders. NYSE and Nasdaq are required to police their members' activities. In the past decade, they have moved from member-owned utilities to publicly traded companies with an eye on generating returns for shareholders.
Nasdaq said in an investor presentation last week that it had close to $40 million in revenue from U.S. proprietary market data in the fourth quarter last year. The company does not reveal how much it receives from co-location of servers.
The use of high-frequency trading strategies has come under scrutiny outside the U.S.
European Parliament lawmakers reached a draft deal with national governments to curb high-frequency trading as part of tougher rules for the bloc's financial markets, said the chief legislator working on the plans in October. The draft requires algorithms to be tested and authorized by regulators and calls for circuit breakers, among other measures.
"The negotiation team achieved a significant breakthrough on this issue," Markus Ferber, the lawmaker leading the measures, said in an e-mail at the time. "The area of high- frequency trading is lacking suitable regulation."

Looting and forgery are the Castor and Pollux of the antiquities trade, bound together by a love of murky origins.
That appears to be the lesson of the guilty plea earlier this month by coin dealer Dr. Arnold Peter Weiss, which came with a twist – the "looted" coins he was hawking at the Waldor Astoria were actually forgeries.
But why would Weiss brag so openly – to both a confidential informant and an undercover agent posing as a buyer, according to the complaint – that the ancient coins he was trying to sell had been recently looted in Sicily? Wouldn't that fact lower the value of the coins and made them harder to sell?
And how could the three coins – which were proved forgeries by a scanning electron microscope only after being found authentic by several experts – fool so many, including Weiss and his Nomos partners and Herbert Kreindler, Weiss' reported source for the coins? Who was duped, and who was complicit in the fraud?
The answers may come out as the on-going investigation unfolds in the coming months. But the case of another famous fraud, the Getty Kouros, offers some interesting hints.
The outlines of the Kouros story are well known: In 1985, the Getty paid $9.5 million for a 7-foot-tall Greek marble youth with a thoroughly detailed ownership history, amid speculation that the piece was a modern forgery. There are only a dozen such intact kouroi, making the Getty's a truly remarkable find. The question of its authenticity has been hotly debated ever since. Today most are convinced the statue is a fake, though it remains on display at the Getty Villa, labeled "Greek, about 530 B.C., or modern forgery."
In the opening chapter of his bestselling Blink, Malcolm Gladwell suggests Getty officials were blinded by bad science in their decision to buy the statue. In Chasing Aphrodite we revealed that science was the public reason to justify the purchase, and the one given to the Getty board. But behind the scenes, museum officials concluded the Kouros was authentic because they heard from the dealer that it had been recently looted in Sicily.
As we write in Chapter 4:
Speaking in confidence, [Sicilian dealer Gianfranco] Becchina had cautioned [Met curator Dietrich] von Bothmer to ignore the cover story about the statue coming from Greece or being in the family of a Swiss doctor. He suggested instead that the statue had been found recently in Sicily, an origin that would explain many of the stylistic anomlies that had initially troubled him. It also suggested that the piece was freshly excavated and, by extension, authentic. The statue's suspiciously voluminous ownership history must have been forged to cover the kouros's illicit origins. Bolstered by the new information pointing to authenticity, [Getty director John] Walsh once again recommended the purchase of the kouros."
This illustrates the first lure of loot: In a market rife with forgeries, evidence of looting is the ultimate badge of authenticity.
It is worth noting that one of the Weiss coins in question was a silver decadrachms of Akragas. Before being confiscated by authorities, it was given a record-setting estimate of $2.5 million because it was one of only 12 known such coins. That happens to be precisely as rare as an intact Kouros. When trying to explain the appearance of a rare masterpiece out of thin air, looting is the most palpable answer. The only other is forgery.
The second lure of looting is the uncanny appeal that "fresh" antiquities have long had for collectors and museums. Few have explained this better than Bruce McNall — who coincidentally used to employ Weiss' Nomos business partner Eric McFadden.
McNall proved prescient in our January interview about the Weiss case:
"[As a collector in the 1980s,] any time you find something brand new, it's sexier," he said. "Otherwise it's been around, it's been seen, and maybe there's a reason someone else hasn't bought it…Nobody wants some old broad that's been around on the town for too long."
Ironically, McNall thinks that may explain the case of Arnold Peter Weiss, who was allegedly recorded by a confidential informant bragging that he knew the 4th century BC silver tetradrachm from Katane he was selling was "a fresh coin, this was dug up a few years ago" in Italy. Such talk is common in the coin trade, said McNall, but "90% of the time it's just a sales tool." McNall also finds to be credible the rumor circulating in the coin world that one or more of the coins Weiss was offering for sale may have been fakes.
Perhaps another lesson from the Weiss case, then, is that in the world of ancient coins, these two lures of loot appear to be as strong today as they were in 1985.

Nationals Park was abuzz with life on this cold winter day as thousands of Washington Nationals fans were drawn to the first annual NatsFest fan fest. For the ticket price of just $10.00, Nats fans were able to wander through the usually-restricted field level concourse, lounge in the home team clubhouse, sit in a $300+ Presidents Club seat, take a swing from live pitching in the Nats' indoor batting cage, and mingle with the likes of manager Manny Acta, General Manager Jim Bowden, team President Stan Kasten, broadcasters, players, and more.
As Steinberg documents well in this evening's Sports Bog, the Q&A sessions with Acta, Bowden, Kasten, and Assistant GM Mike Rizzo were packed and lively, with numerous questions about the team's off-season spending (or lack thereof); but Kasten also drew a number of terrific questions about the fan experience, and in what Steinberg called "perhaps the best moment of the day," addressed the Teddy question.
Kasten told the crowd that he has been a visitor to LetTeddyWin.com. "I'm asked all the time about this Let Teddy Win stuff," Kasten said, "and 'Stan, when is Teddy gonna win?' as if I'm Nostradamus or something like that. How could I know…? But I do know this: Law of averages says he's gonna win some day, and the only way to be sure you're here for when that happens is to come every night!"
Kasten promised a number of changes to the fan experience for 2009, including expansion of the Red Porch to bring tables into the stadium seating area, centerfield plaza improvements to include a "fire pit," and more food options including value meals at concession stands and "experiments with all-you-can-eat sections" on select game nights.
Kasten also shed some light on why the giant baseball that had been depicted above the Red Loft in pre-construction renderings of Nationals Park never appeared for the inaugural season, explaining that "something" would be installed above the red loft, but that it was pending negotiations with sponsors. Considering that Kasten oversaw the installation of the giant Coke bottle above Turner Field in Atlanta, it's all making sense now.
The Nationals racing presidents were noticeably absent from the concourses and activities throughout the park, but could be found behind a door being guarded by Nationals mascot Screech in the "Kids Zone," a large room in the stadium's conference center.
Who knew ball parks had conference rooms?
The Kids Zone looked remarkably well-staffed and organized, with young Nats fans being entertained by Clint Khoury and the Nat Pack, plus racing presidents Teddy, Abe, George, and Tom, and activities including a moon bounce, wiffle ball, face painting, balloon animals, caricatures, and even a Guitar Hero arcade.
Most remarkable was that the kids zone crowd paled in comparison with the lines that formed for all the "adult" activities. Even the wait for a hand-painted caricature was minimal compared to the time people were spending upstairs waiting for a photo with Ryan Zimmerman. The kids looked like they were having a blast, though it made me nervous to see Abe Lincoln helping kids in and out of the moon bounce. I just don't trust that guy…

ARCHIVES GRM: 5 CDs and booklets in box
It�s the 30th anniversary of the Institute National de L�Audiovisuel and they have trawled their impressive archives for what they think are the most important or remarkable Musique Concrete/Electroacoustic works in their archive, which dates back to Schaeffer�s first experiments in the late 1940s. Some has appeared elsewhere before, but a lot hasn�t. There are 5 volumes, each with its own explanatory booklet. Volume 1, Visitors to the Musique Concrete Adventure collects work by composers who passed through and made Concrete works, including Boulez, Barraque, Milhaud, Sauget, Boucourechliev, Bailiff, Xenakis, Varese and Olivier Messiaen. That alone is a priceless document. Volume 2, The Art of the Etude collects mostly early material that tests the technologies and techniques, including the legendary phonogene. Volume 3, Sound by Numbers, charts the period of change, when computing power became available but was slow and young enough to be a highly experimental medium (writing numbers, punching tape, sending it off to be processed), and then the acquisition of an in house computer. Volume 4, The time of Real Time showcases the Syter system, designed at GRM and way ahead of its time, that allowed sound manipulation to be done in real time. Volume 5. GRM without knowing it collects fringe materials � theme tunes, dance music, sound design, dance music, sound tracks (and includes the Bayle piece made with Kevin Ayers and Robert Wyatt in 1970, built around Ayers� We Did It Again).This CD is full of great and unusual pieces. Each CD comes with a fat book of copious (if sometimes overwritten) documentation and there is an additional 80pp book of photographs in the sturdy box in which the collection is housed. A vast work of research, and history in the writing. L

When FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced his net neutrality plans today, he also said he wants to examine state laws that prohibit or restrict the ability of cities and towns to offer Internet service.
As we've written, ISP lobby groups have won restrictions on municipal broadband in 20 states, and they are trying to push through more such laws. Lobbyists and their lawmaker friends have been emboldened by a 2004 US Supreme Court decision that said the Telecommunications Act "allows states to prevent municipalities from providing telecommunications services," according to a summary of the case.But the situation isn't as clear-cut as that, it may turn out. Wheeler believes a dissent written by a judge at the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit gave the FCC some room to step between states and municipalities on this issue.
"The Commission will look for opportunities to enhance Internet access competition," Wheeler said in a statement. "One obvious candidate for close examination was raised in Judge Silberman's separate opinion, namely legal restrictions on the ability of cities and towns to offer broadband services to consumers in their communities."
Judge Laurence Silberman dissented from his fellow judges in a 2-1 decision last month, arguing against the majority opinion that Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act gives the FCC authority to enforce net neutrality rules. (Separately, Silberman agreed with the majority opinion that the FCC had failed to justify common carriage rules.) However, Silberman wrote that the FCC does have authority to take "measures that promote competition in the local telecommunications market or other regulating methods that remove barriers to infrastructure investment." In a footnote, Silberman wrote that "[a]n example of a paradigmatic barrier to infrastructure investment would be state laws that prohibit municipalities from creating their own broadband infrastructure to compete against private companies."
Silberman's opinion raises the possibility that the commission could remove state-level legal restrictions that prohibit or limit the ability of cities and towns to offer competitive broadband service, according to a senior FCC official who is familiar with Wheeler's thinking.
So what about that Supreme Court ruling? The official said that the case, Nixon v. Missouri Municipal League, involved a situation in which the FCC declined to support municipalities resisting state laws limiting public broadband. If the commission were to support municipalities against state restrictions in a future case, courts could interpret the laws differently, the official said. In the Supreme Court case, a group of local governments in Missouri asked the FCC to nullify a state law preventing municipal broadband service.
While many state restrictions on municipal broadband are already in place, new laws have been proposed in Kansas and Utah. Opposition has forced proponents of the bills to promise to rewrite them.

EISENBERG, Germany — Not much is known about Woofgang, the prized, pianist pooch of Eisenberg. Some have called the dog a "genius" and given him monikers like "Johann Sebastian Bark." Others have labeled his story a hoax, and they say that the supposed canine with human hands is not only a scientific impossibility, but an affront to the musical community.
Marty Kraus, Woofgang's owner, has decided to dispel growing criticism by releasing what he says is the dog's "magnum opus." Before now, only a single picture existed of Woofgang, and his legend had only spread from private recitals held in the Kraus home in Eisenberg. Now, the world can see the handiwork of the animal in the form of sheet music put out in a .PDF format online through several German publications.
"It is time for the world to meet Woofgang," Kraus said. "I'm so very proud of him, and this piece is not only the greatest work of a dog with human hands, but in the entire artform."
"Wagnificat" is the name of the piece, and though performers across the world are playing it for themselves, a recording by Woofgang
himself is in the works and is slated for a winter release. Though Kraus is obviously proud of his animal, he seems to be missing a
financial opportunity with the dog's talents. When asked why Woofgang won't go on tour and perform live in person, Kraus is quick to give an
"Woofgang is a dog," Kraus said. "Have you ever taught your dog a trick and then he won't do it outside of your living room for strangers? Dogs get distracted too easily. My Woofgang is no different."

With Steven Strasburg making his second spring training start in sunny Florida, the local Nats fans facing another weekend of lousy DC weather were greeted to their own surprise treat today.
Yes, the crowd that braved the rain this afternoon to line Constitution Avenue for the 2010 Nation's St. Patrick's Day Parade was treated to an appearance by some very special dignitaries.
Emerging from between the floats, marching bands, and pipe bands were the Nationals' very own racing presidents George Washington, Abe Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt, who accompanied the DC Fire Department through the parade, riding atop a hook & ladder truck and walking along Constitution Avenue to greet and shake hands with the fans who lined the parade route.

I recently made a purchase that improved the reliability of my home network—a Cisco Linksys EA3500 dual-band wireless router. The device itself has worked just as I hoped.
But shortly after my purchase, Cisco pushed a firmware update to this router that limited owners' ability to administer the devices ourselves. The update led me (and many others) to install an older version of the firmware in order to regain all the control we had in the first place. More on just how to do that in a bit. First let's explain what Cisco did, and why many people are upset.
When the firmware update (which also applied to the EA4500 and EA2700 router models) rolled out, attempting to connect to the browser's internal administrative Web interface brings the user instead to a signup page for the "Cisco Connect Cloud," as seen here:
The service basically replicates all the features router administrators already have, but moves them from your home network to Cisco's cloud. The supposed benefit is that you can manage your router even when you're not at home. I can't imagine many circumstances in which I would need to do that; connecting my router's administration features to a Web account also seems like a needless security risk (albeit a small one).
In exchange for the convenience of Connect Cloud, you have to agree to some pretty onerous terms. In short, Cisco would really hate it if you use the Web to view porn or download copyrighted files without paying for them.
From the Cisco Connect Cloud Terms of Service:
You agree not to use or permit the use of the Service: (i) to invade another's privacy; (ii) for obscene, pornographic, or offensive purposes; (iii) to infringe another's rights, including but not limited to any intellectual property rights; (iv) to upload, email or otherwise transmit or make available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, spam, junk mail or any other form of solicitation; (v) to transmit or otherwise make available any code or virus, or perform any activity, that could harm or interfere with any device, software, network or service (including this Service); or (vi) to violate, or encourage any conduct that would violate any applicable law or regulation or give rise to civil or criminal liability.
While we are not responsible for any content or data that you choose to access or otherwise use in connection with the Service, we reserve the right to take such action as we (i) deem necessary or (ii) are otherwise required to take by a third party or court of competent jurisdiction, in each case in relation to your access or use or misuse of such content or data. Such action may include, without limitation, discontinuing your use of the Service immediately without prior notice to you, and without refund or compensation to you.
These terms of service have sparked a bit of an uproar among Cisco customers—you can get a sampling of the outrage among fellow Ars readers in the forums. A lot of that outrage is focused on privacy concerns. ExtremeTech found that Cisco has deleted a portion of a privacy statement that said Cisco would keep track of Connect Cloud customers' "network traffic" and "Internet history."
I e-mailed Cisco public relations reps to ask how Cisco would know if anyone is using its cloud service for pornographic purposes or to infringe intellectual property rights, and also whether Connect Cloud keeps a record of everything its users do on the Internet, but haven't gotten a response yet. Cisco did previously weigh in with a blog post saying "Cisco Connect Cloud does not actively track, collect or store personal info or usage data for any other purposes, nor is it transmitted to third parties."
Perhaps "actively" means Cisco only does the tracking sometimes. If no tracking occurs at all, why do the terms of service give Cisco the right to penalize customers for porn- and copyright-related offenses?
Some have claimed Cisco will "transform your router into a useless brick" if your porn habits violate the cloud service's conditions. I don't read the terms that way. Instead, the terms indicate to me that Cisco would discontinue a user's right to use the cloud service, while still allowing you to use the router you bought and paid for.
Rolling back your firmware, ditching Connect Cloud
In fact, the Cisco Knowledge Base provides instructions on how to roll the router's firmware back to avoid using the cloud service at all.
I followed the instructions last night and was able to regain access to the traditional Web interface for managing my router.
The first step is downloading the earlier version of the firmware. Next, you disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router's Internet port. That's because if your computer is online, navigating to 192.168.1.1 takes you to the Connect Cloud signup page. Severing the Internet connection brings you to a different page that provides administration access with your router's password.
At this point, you can use the previously downloaded file to roll the router's firmware back to the prior version. The router reboots, and once you plug the Ethernet cable back in you're online, and going to 192.168.1.1 gives you the traditional Web interface—no cloud service account required.
The final step is to uncheck the automatic upgrade option. Now your router won't automatically receive firmware updates. You could try the third-party firmware DD-WRT, but it seems to be supported on the Linksys EA2700 but not the other two models affected by the recent update.
Not receiving firmware updates isn't ideal, of course. There is one way around this without signing up for the cloud service, though. Even with the latest firmware, you can manage your router without a Connect Cloud account by using the software that comes with a Cisco router. However, this software only includes the most basic options—for anything advanced, it redirects you to 192.168.1.1, which in turn redirects you to the Cisco Connect Cloud if you haven't rolled back your firmware.
There's also a phone app called Cisco Connect Express that works on your home network without a cloud account. That app is still available for now, but Cisco is pushing a new phone app that requires the cloud account.
That Cisco blog post we mentioned said the company is developing an updated version of the opt-out process for automatic updates to make it clearer that customers have more options than simply creating a Connect Cloud account.
Cisco is promising that Connect Cloud will offer many new conveniences, like adding devices to your home network with a tap of a button. I've never had any trouble adding devices to my home network in the first place, though, so for now I'm sticking with the older firmware.

Food has always been important to me, even when it was just pretend! Play food was one of my favorite "toys" as a child.
Welcome to my blog! As you may have guessed, my name is Veronica. I live in Wichita, Kansas, am thirty-two years old, have been blissfully married to my soul mate for twelve years, and have a fur baby (of the canine variety) named Jessie. I'm a Christian and am devoted to my God and to Jesus Christ, who I'm eternally grateful to and for. I work as a data conversion operator for the US Postal service, and love it! (Click here to find out more about my job.) I also love to bake, and enjoy cooking, so I started this blog as a way to share the best recipes I come across and create in my kitchen.
I started out blogging recipes on MySpace and eventually started this blog, originally called Recipe Rhapsody, in the fall of 2009 where I copied all my past recipes from MySpace and continued food-blogging here. When this blog was "Recipe Rhapsody," it was all about food and recipes. Once I left MySpace, however, I started to miss having an avenue by which to share other parts of my life and thoughts, so I eventually changed this blog in May of 2011 to be more all-inclusive. Veronica's Cornucopia was born!
Why "cornucopia?" Well, my blog is a collection of my favorite recipes, my musings, memories, stories, photos & videos from my life "adventures," and now has weekly thanksgivings, (which makes many think of the American holiday, which is commonly equated with a cornucopia because it takes place at harvest time). I like to think of my blog as the cornucopia holding all these recipes, thanksgivings, and adventures inside of it.
While I do (usually) feature a weekly post , "Thankful Thursdays," I try to keep food & recipes as the main focus of my blog, with other features thrown in for fun once in a while. Baking is my forte, and I do about a 2-1 ratio of recipes for sweet treats versus meals and sides. I tend to make healthy food (though not lately-lol), and very unhealthy sweets, because that is how I balance my love for good desserts–by eating healthy meals so that I can splurge on a full-fat, full-sugar dessert. When I'm watching my weight, I will include nutritional information on recipes, and you will always know when I'm in a weight-gaining period because you won't see any nutritional information! (I have been in one for over a year now-ha!) I don't usually share the nutritional information for desserts, however, because I figure most are like me and if they're indulging, would rather not know how much. :)
So, welcome to my cornucopia. I hope you find some recipes that you and your family enjoy, and I hope you enjoy your time here as much as I enjoy having you! :) If you would like to contact me for any reason, you can do so through the form below.

Wall Street Journal: Selectively Pro-Science
"Rigorous scientific studies have not identified links between autism and either thimerosal-containing vaccine or the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine" (Miller and Reynolds, 2009). The scientific community also tells us that the world is round, that smoking is strongly linked to lung cancer, and that humans are causing global warming. Recently, there were multiple editorials and op-eds in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) bemoaning the fact that people have not believed the scientific community on the question of vaccine safety.
Unfortunately, while the WSJ touts accurate science with regard to vaccines, the WSJ is anti-science when it comes to climate change. Read on for an analysis of the WSJ's coverage of climate change and to read an excellent Letter to the Editor that was never published.
The WSJ has an archive of editorials and op-eds in a category labeled Climate Change that is only available to subscribers. (Non-subscribers can see a few lines of content for each opinion piece but not the entire piece.) Between October 2008 and January 25, 2011 there were a total of 86 items in the archive. I decided to sign up for a one-year subscription ($103) that featured a two-week free trial period. After reading all 86 items, I canceled via phone and was not charged.
I scored eachopinion piece using the following criteria:
PRO: Supported the scientific consensus.
CON: Did not support the scientific consensus, mocked or attacked the science or scientists, or cherry-picked data to cast doubt.
MISSING: Ignored any mention of human activities as a cause of climate change but did not misinform otherwise.
N/A: About non-science issues such as the pros and cons of cap and trade, carbon tax, political strategies, etc.
Figure 1 below shows the results:
There were only 4 op-eds (no editorials) that were pro-science!
Figure 2 below is the result of removing the 29 N/A pieces and combining the CON and MISSING pieces into one category.
Figure 3 below shows a pie chart of the WSJ's opinion of climate science. It is the OPPOSITE of the scientific consensus!
97% of climate science experts and every international scientific organization endorses the conclusion that human activities are primarily responsible for modern global warming. An honest newspaper should reflect that consensus.
Why does the WSJ mis-report climate science 93% of the time?
After reading the editorials and op-eds it becomes clear that the WSJ does not like the SOLUTIONS to climate change so they attack, misinform, and ignore the science in the hope of avoiding or delaying dealing with the issue. A more honest approach would be to accept and explain the science of climate change and then debate how best to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Why did the WSJ side with science in its autism/vaccine articles and not with climate change science? The most likely answer is that they were protecting the pharmaceutical industry that profits from producing vaccines and other medicines while also protecting the fossil fuel-based industries that profits from the current carbon status quo.
The WSJ should be telling its readers what they NEED to hear and not what they WANT to hear.
They have an obligation to report the overwhelming consensus on scientific issues so that their subscribers can make informed decisions, especially when those decisions have great financial consequences.
When considering future investments, WSJ readers cannot peer into the crystal ball if their heads are buried in the sand.
Dr. A. J. Dessler wrote a letter to the WSJ pointing out the irony of coverage of climate change science which he has allowed me to post here. The letter was not published by WSJ:
Your Editorial, "The Autism Hoax" Jan 8-9, 2011, highlights the failure of the medical scientific community to quickly put down an errant 1998 publication in The Lancet that blamed childhood vaccines for a coincident rise in diagnoses of autism. An explanation for this extended time for resolution can be offered by considering a parallel with what is happening with the present scientific findings on global warming. The Editorial states, "Researchers have all the while continued to churn out studies disproving the vaccine-autism link", but nothing much happened for a decade. Similarly the atmospheric science community continues to "churn out studies" proving that increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses are largely responsible for global warming. Professional scientific organizations have collected, condensed, and synthesized these studies to estimate a range of climate consequences that can be expected.
However, the media, sensationalizing the inevitable contrary work by a negligible minority of the qualified scientific community, has caused doubt to pervade public perception. It is perhaps puzzling that statements on global warming by, for example, the American Academy of Sciences, American Meteorological Society, and America Physical Society, have not dominated media reporting. But the media usually gives roughly equal weight to the skeptical ideas of a small number of qualified scientists. As in the vaccine-autism debate, this has inflated the ideas of only a few to produce conflict in public thinking. It is important that the media not exaggerate skeptical ideas of a few individuals over the considered work of many hundreds of qualified researchers, lest the vaccine-autism circus be repeated.
A.J. Dessler holds a Ph.D. in Physics from Duke University and is presently and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Texas A&M University.

Big business economic bias must be balanced with environmental and social justice perspectives for sustainable development to be achieved. We must rely on consensus building such as the scientific method for metrics for sustainable decision making…
Sustainable Land Development Goes Carbon Negative
"Fossil fuels are carbon-positive — burning them adds more carbon to the air. Ordinary biomass fuels are carbon neutral — the carbon captured in the biomass by photosynthesis would have eventually returned to the atmosphere through natural processes — burning plants for energy just speeds it up. Biochar systems can be carbon negative because they retain a substantial portion of the carbon that would otherwise be emitted by the plants or waste matter when it rots. The result is a net reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere."
The WSJ is a cheerleader for BAU.
Well done.
Just one thing – maybe this is just my (mis)understanding of the terminology, but I think of "articles" as being news articles, and "columns" as opinion pieces (op-eds and editorials).
So initially I missed that your analysis only covered opinion pieces; the WSJ fallback will likely be "those are opinions, they don't have to be credible".
I don't think they published Von Storch's LtE either. (From about a year ago, after Pat Michaels wrote a column misrepresenting Von Storch's actions & views re the Climate Research resignations)
Any more of this mythological MMGW and I'll be freezing my ass of.
I like the phrase anti-science. It has a poetic ring to it.

Those trends have continued in recent months. Meanwhile, 97 percent of publishing climate scientists agree that human activities are significantly altering our climate. And our own National Academy of Sciences tells us, "Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for—and in many cases is already affecting—a broad range of human and natural systems."

How is it that CO2 levels continued to rise during the entire time of "stalled" global warming, if CO2 is the cause of global warming? Isn't it interesting that the polar cap on Mars was melting due to increased solar activity at the same time global warming alarmists were trying to tax us all for carbon emissions? When will the fraud end? Global warming appears more a religion for zealots than actual science, because real science if falsifiable. No matter when the evidence shows them to be wrong, global warming zealots think it still supports their quackery. When people start claiming that it is "settled science", they stop being scientific and start being religious. If it weren't for their pernicious impact on government policy, I would easily categorize them with the Flat Earth and Hollow Earth nuts.

Design Tips
Designing a new look for your home can be daunting. There are so many choices, themes and colors. Some are too boring, too clean, too cluttered, too daring and just not you. Learn how to create a fresh new look that fits with your lifestyle and reflects your personality.
A Work of Art: Before you start planning the design of your room, decide whether your floor will be the art or a backdrop. While a neutral carpet or floor can make a great canvas for bold furnishings and accessories, a bright color or pattern combined with simple furniture can transform your floor into the star of your room.
Create Sunshine: Just as carpet in shades of yellow or orange can create the illusion of sunlight in an otherwise dark space, you can brighten your room with a lighter wood or laminate floor to reflect light and make it seem more spacious.
Go Wild: Add character to an otherwise neutral room with a bold accent pattern – like zebra or leopard print. Whether it's an area rug, throw pillow, chair or curtains, it's sure to get attention.

Stain Tips
The best cure for a spill is a fast response. If a spill is allowed to become a stain, it will be much more difficult to remove. There are important steps that you must use to treat a stain, hopefully before it has a chance to set in your carpet.
Apply: Wet a clean, white (not printed) paper towel with a cleaning solution. Then dampen the carpet with it. Avoid wetting the carpet through to its backing.
Blot: Absorb the excess liquid from the carpet by pressing straight down with a clean, dry, white paper towel.
Do Not Rub: Place a half-inch thick pad of clean, dry, white paper towels with a weight on top and leave overnight if necessary.
Scrape: Gently scratch the soiled area with the blunt edge of a spoon. Scrape from the outside edge of the spot toward the center.

One of the more unusual tech clashes of the past year or two has involved Apple's crusade to control how its competitors use the term "app store." The company has sparred with Microsoft and other competitors in both US and European trademark offices over whether Apple should be able to trademark either "app store" or "appstore," since both apps and stores have been around for quite a while now.
In the case of Amazon's Appstore, Apple has actually moved the battle into a federal court. So far, its quest to stop Amazon from using the phrase "Appstore for Android" has been going nowhere. That trend continues today, as Apple has lost entirely on one of its claims—that Amazon's use of Appstore went beyond a trademark violation and actually constituted false advertising.
Amazon moved to throw that allegation out without a trial, and today it succeeded. US District Judge Phyllis Hamilton, who is overseeing the case, issued a 9-page order [PDF] in which she reviews Apple's arguments as to why the company should be allowed to move ahead with a false advertising case.
Apple pointed to TrafficSchool.com v. eDriver Inc., a case involving a company whose use of websites that contained "dmv.org" was found to falsely imply affiliation with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. It also tried to use a 1983 case called Eastern Airlines Inc v. New York Air Lines Inc., in which plaintiff Eastern Airlines was able to win a false advertising case based on a competitor's description of "air shuttle" services, even though it could not trademark "shuttle."
But Judge Hamilton found those examples unconvincing and has thrown out Apple's false advertising claim. "Apple has presented no evidence of any Amazon website or advertisement that attempts to mimic Apple's site or advertising," she wrote. "The court finds no support for the proposition that Amazon has expressly or impliedly communicated that its Appstore for Android possesses the characteristics and qualities that the public has come to expect from the Apple APP STORE and/or Apple products."
Since she found so little merit in the false advertising claims, it's hard to imagine Hamilton is going to see the remaining trademark case in a less skeptical light. But that portion of the case is moving ahead and is currently scheduled for a jury trial in August of this year.
